I'm looking for an archive manager for Ubuntu. By 'archive' I mean a real archive, the one with paper documents inside. I tried Tellico, but it's really intended for books, not documents.
Any suggestions?

Please explain your method of putting a paper document on to a computer hard disk. Are we to assume that you will scan the paper documents and then convert them into PDF. In that case you are looking for an electronic publications library manager such as Calibre. Please explain more fully what you want to achieve then we will not get voted down for inappropriate answers.

Thank you for your answer. No, I'm not going to scan anything. I just need a software to file documents of a paper archive (i.e. Archival number, Title, Content, Date and so on).

Your documents does not have to be books and they can be hard copies on a shelf or in a filing cabinet, or electronic on your computer, in the case of physical documents you just number the articles and use that as the number in the BibTex file, if they are electronic you can have a link to them in the BibTex file, they could even be on the internet.

Take a look at the various Entry types. When you use this method to manage papers you have great flexibility as jabRef can export to many other Reference formats or export your library to a web page and so on. jabRef also has a good search facility. you can create citations for Latex and Office documents that refers to your papers.

Thank you. Yes, still is the right answer to the wrong question. I don't really need a database for files that I keep on my HD, but just a simple software to make an index/inventory of paper documents.
